Texas Renaissance Festival. Once a wonderful place...

Texas Renaissance Festival. Once a wonderful place to spend a day or two, have loads of fun whether dressed for the period, in your favorite fantasy getup, or just walk and people watch, and was reasonable in price. Now many years later, merely an expensive tourist trap. Visit the shops - but get their business cards and visit their real shops or websites. There's not much real fun anymore, and they've made the park so large... Wear some comfortable shoes! Still fun to people watch, and spend lots of money. Good food, plenty to drink. But be ready to spend a lot, especially if you're visiting as a family. Ren Faire may or may not be fun for you, your mileage may vary.
